Hello sweet friend. I do not know how I missed this. First of all, live the pic. You are very handsome.
Secondly but not least, you have done an exceptional job rewriting lyrics. Impressive to say the least. Loved it. Please keep writing.

Comment from CivilChick
After seeing your review and loving your name "SIS CAT", I had to stop by and see some of your work. I think you improved the song with your subtle changes. I think it is more accurate with your changes...we can all be lonely islands, but claims of being a rock, is a defense that doesn't ring true.

Yes, CivilChick, "claims of being a rock is a defense that doesn't ring true." I am glad you enjoyed my subtle changes in the song. Here is my audition video of the song. https://youtu.be/q_GsNHjVKwY Enjoy and thank you for your review.

Comment from Liberty Justice
Lovely rewrite of old song. Theme is so intense. Original poem professes singer is a rock meaning he is real strong. An island never cries means he doesn't weep. liberty justice

Comment from harmony13
Excellent Song Lyrics Poem. The author's words are deep, heartfelt and creative.
The reader pondered on the words of this poem. The poem flows and connects well.
The last two lines are thought provoking and end the poem well.

Yes, harmony13, a lot of reviewers have commented on those last two lines. I have to thank Paul Simon for inspiring me, but I also thank you for your generous review.
Comment from K. Lorraine
I'm not sure what would be considered legal in this contest... I thought your version was pretty darn close to the original version of the song, and the changes seemed minor. All-in-all, I would consider this a good effort and might I say, good luck in the contest.

So far, K Lorraine, my lyrics rewrite has not been declared illegal in this contest. The changes I made were subtle to show vulnerability instead of rock-like strength. I thank you for your review and wishing me good luck in the contest.

Thank you, Rebekka, for your review. I am glad I shared these lyrics with you and that you relate to them.
Comment from jmdg1954
Overall, nicely done. When I first started to read it and sang along with it, I felt as though the words didn't change. But as I got further along I was able to see the subtle changes and it made total sense.
Nicely done. John

Comment from TPAC
Writer bang their intentions out clearly, sounding loud their conveyances of not being a hard rock: but an island. I found these thoughts interesting in written views, touching to me in its appeal.
